I'm working on the gearbox for a 1943 round-dial 10EE because of massive oil leaks. It is out and on my bench. I started disassembly and got stuck! I don't see a way into the internals. Does the brass dial on the front have to come off to access the inside?
I've removed the cover over the shifter mechanism. It appears that the shaft driving the rack has to come out in order to access everything under it. The shaft is threaded into another larger shaft and held there with a setscrew. The setscrew is out and I can unscrew the shaft but it stops about halfway. I don't want to force anything. Maybe I need to make a special pin-wrench to hold the larger shaft while I turn the other shaft?
In this photo, I'm not sure if this is an oil seal or part of a bearing. In either case, there is no seal in the groove! That could be part of the oil leak problem.
Any hints would be welcome. I thought by now I'd have this 10EE running, but I'm down another rat hole.
